Our Team

Before moving to beautiful Hobart, I worked for two years in a primary access clinic in Kings Cross, Sydney as a Sexual Health Registrar. My partner and I are very much enjoying bushwalking and camping around Tasmania. 

I graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2012 and have worked at the Gold Coast University Hospital for the last four years.  My hobbies include sailing, art and design and hiking.  I am currently working at the Lauderdale Surgery.
 

I have worked in Mackay and Brisbane before moving to Tasmania for general practice training. I also have experience in palliative care, having worked at the Royal Hobart Hospital in 2014. I have completed a diploma in palliative medicine. I have been working in general practice since 2014 and my special interest is in palliative care.

I enjoy reading and playing with our cat.

 My wife and I have been lured to the Apple Isle by its lifestyle, the food and the great outdoors

Obtained MBBS with University of Tasmania in 1982.

 Available for appointments from our Shoreline surgery.

ry and paediatrics.

I am married to Dr Catherine Kelly, and we have 3 children.

After working as GPs in Tasmania we then spent 10 years as GP partners in SE England, gaining gaining much experience in chronic disease, and working closely together. I am particularly interested in the prevention and follow up of chronic conditions such as heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, and was involved in programs for this in the UK.  Our family returned to Tasmania in 2014 for the lifestyle it offers, and are keen to get their children into the outdoors as they approach their teenage years.

Prior to starting my general practice training I completed 4 years at the RHH working in various areas, including a year working with the geriatrics/aged care team.  I also work part-time for General Practice Training Tasmania in a registrar support role and have recently completed 6 months at the Sandy Bay Clinic with a focus on travel medicine.  

I love the continuity of general practice, as well as the broad scope of people I get to meet.  I like that in general practice I get to see and manage a wide variety of conditions, but my main interests are aged care, women’s health, paediatrics and travel medicine.

Outside of work I like to spend time with my husband and fur-child.  I’m a long suffering Essendon supporter and a happy Pittsburgh Penguins fan. 

I have also completed a Certificate of Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery and a Certificate of Dermoscopy. I will become a fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practice in early 2017.

I enjoy the variety of presentations I encounter in general practice. I have a sub-interest in skin cancer medicine and am completing further training in the area currently. Having completed a Diploma of Child health, I have additional training in paediatrics.

My work history includes an intern year and resident year at the Royal Hobart Hospital and a critical care year at Western Health (in Victoria), training in intensive care and anaesthetics.  I have have been a locum doctor in emergency medicine (in rural Victoria). My work in anaesthetics has given me a solid grounding in the management of acute and chronic pain - areas I also have interest.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing rugby with the Hobart Hutchins Lions Rugby Union Club. I completed my schooling in Hobart and love Tasmania. I hope to work long term in Hobart and enjoy working with the excellent team at Eastern Shore Doctors.

I travelled for seven years working in NSW and Queensland.  I settled back in Lauderdale in 1990 and began general practice with Tim Jackson and a short time later, Cath Jeanneret. I am married and have three children.  I've always liked general practice but with special interest in health promotion, sports medicine and workers compensation.  

I really enjoy Lauderdale and the Eastern Shore for the sailing, kayaking and beach life.
